Aramides cajauea, July 12, 1960, V  

Then the bird utters AlP's and assumes an SC Posture when I approach. Then runs away, uttering RP. This RP is more rapid than that uttered by WH earlier, and still not very fast. When I frighten U by stamping my foot, it runs away uttering the same RP, still slightly faster than that of WH.

It will not follow me at all.

When I poke U, it utters many chirps and only a few traces of not very extreme or distinctive trills.

It is beginning to look as if the trill were disappearing, as a distinct, independent, pattern now.

Alert Posture

Head becoming "patchy"

Olive scapulars, rufous breast feathers, and rufous secondaries, quite prominent now. 

Otherwise, still dark brown stringy-fluffy down.
